The only feature I am waiting for is NDK support and a SiriusXM app. As for multiple remotes, I have my GTV remote doing everything from my sound system, cable box, and tv. I use plex on it and even use GTV Box app which is also a client for plex and other media which works really well. During parties I put on pandora, and luckily they haven’t updated it enough so I don’t hear those annoying adds from them.

With the Youtube updates I am able to push videos from my tablet or phone which is also very cool and convenient. And the netflix app does what it is supposed to.

Why the hell did they not release it? You could record every show, a full season of every show that is for 6 months with that amount of storage.

It just slaps some buttons on the tablet/phone screen. I want an app that places the content navigation on the tablet/phone and just pushes it to the TV to actually play.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:53:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=94482#comment-2769645I agree, i’m just saying that Google TV isn’t what you want. I am with you that it would be nice if it was done. Hulu+ is close, but missing CBS (though not a true IPTV solution like AT&T uVerse or centuryLink’s Prism)….. Granted, I just got full on cable with HBO for 2 years for $7/month (on top of my cable internet bill) and it’s not a promo (except for the HBO). so, really I’m not overly concerned about what’s out there right now….it’s working for me. $7 for something like that is actually cheaper than Hulu or Neflix.

Oh yeah, and they give me access to their Netflix like system (Comcast’s), not sure how good it is, but if it rivals Netflix, then I’ll cancel that and actually end up ahead by $1/month.

Obviously not a solution for everyone, but ti’ll work out for me. I’m also anxious to try it out with XBMC Frodo now that it has PVR functionality baked into it.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:52:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=94482#comment-2769643I hope are goin to announce NDK support. The feature request thread was just locked down to restricted users yesterday. I’m not holding my breath, but you never know.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:47:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=94482#comment-2769637I understand your point, but which product would be more mainstream? A pay-tv replacement or a enhanced TV experience? Everyone needs a bed but no one needs a California King with a European Pillow top, that enhancement is a want outside of some peoples budget.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:42:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=94482#comment-2769634Isn’t the point that Google TV enhances your tv experience, not replaces it? I’m not disagreeing with you that it would be nice to have a good IPTV solution from google, but Google TV was never meant to be that.

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:37:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=94482#comment-2769627You can also use your phone/tablet as remote for GTV.
This was you’ll not need another remote, bit the media will still flow from internet through GTV to TV.
